BIG SAM FRUSTRATED

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says he is losing patience with the current transfer market, as his side reach mid-July without a single new signing.

The 61-year-old, whose team narrowly avoided relegation last season, says prices have rocketed out of control, making it increasingly difficult for the Black Cats to find the right value for money.

"We need two, three or four players as quickly as we possibly can. It's been a huge demand on all our resources trying to find those players and we will continue to until we're successful.”

BACCA UPDATE

West Ham will meet with Carlos Bacca's representatives this week to discuss personal terms over a club record move to the Olympic Stadium, according to Sky sources.

The Hammers have activated the £26m release clause in the forward's current contract at AC Milan and will now hope to persuade him to join the club.

If terms can be agreed, Bacca would become Slaven Bilic's sixth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Gokhan Tore, Sofiane Feghouli, Toni Martinez, Havard Nordtveit and Domingos Quina.

‘STEPHENS BID REJECTED’

Burnley have had a £4million bid for Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens rejected, according to the Daily Mail.

If those reports are correct, it’s the second time in 24 hours Sean Dyche has had a bid knocked back for a player after Derby turned down a £3m bid for Jeff Hendrick.

Scott Malone In Fulham Medical?


Tuesday 12th July 2016

Vital Cardiff

It's being reported that Cardiff City left back Scott Malone is undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Fulham.

Wales Online report the story and say that the 25 year old, who has made 56 appearances for Cardiff with one goal returned following his arrival from Millwall, is undergoing a medical at the moment ahead of an impending move.

There are no suggestions of a fee but apparently a deal has been struck between both clubs, and the outlet suggest that with Malone presumably moving on, it could see a proper return from 21 year old Declan John given the current Welsh feeling after the team's exploits at the European Championships.

Of course with Paul Trollope's involvement there, nurturing John through the first team properly could be a long term plan on a few levels.

WARD PENS EXTENSION

Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward has signed a five-year contract extension and will join Huddersfield on a season-long loan deal, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The 23-year-old joined Aberdeen on loan in July 2015 and starred for the Scottish club as they challenged for the SPL title.

HANLEY: £4.5MILL

Newcastle United have been told to pay £6m to secure the signing of Grant Hanley from Blackburn Rovers.

The Magpies have already had two offers rejected by the Championship side, having seen their latest £4.5m offer turned down over the weekend.

CRAWLEY CAPTURE COLLINS

Crawley Town have signed striker James Collins on a three-year deal from Shrewsbury Town.

The 25-year-old is Crawley’s third summer signing.

Head coach Dermot Drummy said: "We're absolutely thrilled we've been able to bring James to the football club.

"He wants a new challenge and he comes with a very good goalscoring record in League Two. We look forward to working with him, making him a better player and to him being part of what we're trying to achieve long-term here at the club."

NEWCASTLE WANT £35M FOR SISSOKO

Newcastle have told other clubs they will have to pay £35m if they want to sign France star Moussa Sissoko, SSN HQ understands.

The 26-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Toulouse for an undisclosed fee in January 2013, was superb for France as they reached the Euro 2016 final, where they lost to Portugal on Sunday.

Sissoko has already declared he wants to leave Tyneside, telling French website Foot Mercato in June that he wanted to join a team in the Champions League and described Arsenal as a "beautiful" club.

DERBY REJECT HENDRICK BID

Derby County have turned down a bid of £3m from Burnley for midfielder Jeff Hendrick, Sky sources understand.

Hendrick, who impressed for the Republic of Ireland at the Euros, starting all four games in France, still has two years left on his Derby contract.

It's thought Nigel Pearson is keen to keep the 24-year-old, and the club feel Burnley's offer hugely underestimates his market value.

HULL SET FOR ROBSON-KANU TALKS

12/07/16

Hull manager Steve Bruce has revealed the club want to sign Hal Robson-Kanu and are "booked in for talks" with the Wales forward in the next few days.

Sky sources understand Leicester are among a number of other Premier League clubs interested in signing Robson-Kanu.

The 27-year-old is a free agent this summer after leaving Reading and he starred as Wales reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, where they were beaten by eventual winners Portugal.

Bruce told the BBC: "We are booked in for talks with him and to see him in the next few days.

"Do we intend to offer him a deal? Yes. I think Hal is a good age, has had a sort of rebirth if you like, of playing through the middle, because before that he has played wide most of the time.

"He is big, strong, powerful, quick and somebody who runs the other way, in football terms. I know we have got competition, so let's see what we can do."

RANGERS EXTENSION FOR WARBURTON

In case you may have missed this breaking news last night, Rangers manager Mark Warburton has agreed a contract extension that will tie him to Ibrox until the summer of 2019.

Warburton revealed he and assistant David Weir would sign new contracts this week which take them beyond their current deals.

"I'm all agreed with the club," he said. "David and myself will sign another year to our contracts."

REAL EYE CHELSEA TARGET

Real Madrid will make a decision about their interest in Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes over the next few days, reports Marca.

Gomes, 22, has emerged as Madrid’s first-choice option to bolster their midfield options ahead of the start of the new season.
Madrid and Valencia have not yet started negotiations, but the European champions are optimistic because they know the player would be open to a move to the Bernabeu. In addition, Madrid reportedly believe Gomes could play alongside and complement Paul Pogba, who is another player on their shortlist.


Valencia have officially stated that Gomes is not for sale, but Marca reports that they are resigned to securing the best price possible for him as they aware it will be difficult to keep hold of him. In addition, Valencia are in a delicate financial situation and they would look for a fee of around €65m for the Portugal international.

Juventus, who had a €40m offer for Gomes rejected a few weeks ago, are also interested in the midfielder, as are both PSG and Barcelona, while we recently broke the story that Chelsea have had a bid for the player rejected by Los Che.

SISSOKO NOT WORRIED BY £35M PRICE TAG

Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko says he is unconcerned by the £35m price tag placed on his head by the Magpies.

"Newcastle would ask for £35m? It could be 20 - for me it changes nothing," he told L'Equipe.

"The interested clubs will know how to find common ground. I hope that it will be as early as possible."

NEWCASTLE MUST BE 'REASONABLE' OVER SISSOKO

Some more now on the future of Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko, whose agent has criticised the Magpies' £35m asking price for his client.

"We do not understand," he told French publication Foot Mercato. "It was agreed that Moussa stayed one more season at Newcastle to help the team.

"He did the best he could. The club has always said Moussa could leave for between €18m and €25m maximum. We hope that Rafael Benitez and the president will be more reasonable about Moussa's future.

"He has always been loyal, he has always respected the club, the fans. There are clubs who came to us and the club [Newcastle]. We are fully aware of their approaches. "We want everything to go well."

According to reports from Sky Sports, Marseille are in transfer talks with Aston Villa after activating Idrissa Gueye’s £7.1million release clause.

No Villa player can hold their head high after last season but the Senegal international was amongst the better of a bad bunch as the Birmingham outfit plummeted out of the Premier League.

LUCAS WANTS TO STAY AT PSG

PSG forward Lucas Moura says he is "happy" with life at the Parc des Princes.

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, but the player claims he wants to stay in the French capital next season.

"I am happy here," he told Foot Mercato during the Ligue 1 champions' pre-season tour of Austria.

"I like Paris. I like the club. I like everything. I have always said that I want to stay. I want to write my history here. But that depends on the club also. If the club want to keep me, I stay."
